Is there any maintenance required for the ANKAme?

The temporary anchor does not require any further testing or re-certification once purchased, but recommend the screw fastenings be replaced every 3 months. The permanent fix anchors once installed need to be re-certified by a competent person every 12 months as per the Australian Standards.

TIMBER & STEEL. The Bremick 14-20 X 65mm screw is to be used only for the temporary fix (both steel batten and timber batten) This is the only screw that can be used with the temporary anchor because this is the specific fastening used during testing.
